Entertablement Abroad – Chateau de Chaumont

Entertablement Abroad – Chateau de Chaumont

by Helen Kain | Apr 15, 2015 | Entertablement Abroad, France, Gardens and Flowers

It was our last day in Amboise, and we had time to see one more Chateau.  Anxious to see the “rest of the story” between Diane de Poitiers and Catherine de Medici I voted for Chateau de Chaumont.  I was dying to see the...

Entertablement Abroad – Chateau de Villandry

by Helen Kain | Apr 14, 2015 | Entertablement Abroad, France, Gardens and Flowers

Another day, another Chateau…   Chateau de Villandry is rightly famous for its magnificent gardens, very much in the French parterre style. I’m more of an English Country perennial garden gal, myself, but these were something to behold. We...
Entertablement Abroad – Chateau de Chambord

Entertablement Abroad – Chateau de Chambord

Entertablement Abroad – Chateau de Chenonceau

by Helen Kain | Apr 12, 2015 | Entertablement Abroad, France, Gardens and Flowers

Our first Chateau visit was Chenonceau. Although it has origins in the 12th century, the current structure was built between 1514 and 1522 on the foundations of an old mill, and then later extended to span the river Cher.   In 1535 King Francis I seized it...
Entertablement Abroad – Scotney Castle

Entertablement Abroad – Scotney Castle

by Helen Kain | Jun 23, 2013 | England, Entertablement Abroad, Gardens and Flowers

Settled in our base at Sissinghurst, we are enjoying daily forays to sister National Trust properties and other points of interest. Today our destination was Scotney Castle, a kind of two-for-one special.   The property features an English...
